Definitions
- This invention relates to a method for bonding a Cu member to an AIN substrate and a copper wiring sheet (hereinafter “Cu wiring sheet”) usable in the method.
- a power semiconductor module as shown in Fig. 1 has heretofore been used which employs a heat radiation substrate.
- numeral 1 denotes a heat sink made of copper (Cu) and the like.
- a first insulating plate Z 1 made of A1 2 0 3 is joined by means of a solder layer 3a onto the heat sink 1 in order to insulate the latter from a thermal diffusion plate described below.

- each numeral 6 denotes a joining layer formed between the insulating plate Z 1 or Z 2 and the solder layers.
- a thermal radiation substrate used in conventional power semiconductor modules has the drawback that it is extremely complicated in construction, as shown in Fig. 1.
- A1 2 0 3 constituting the first and second insulation plates Z 1 and Z 2 is low in thermal conductivity (20 W/m.°C) but high in dielectric strength (100 kV/cm), so that both functions, radiation and insulation, are required to be satisfied by employing both materials, C u and A1 2 0 3 separately.
- aluminium nitride has recently attracted attention due to its excellent dielectric strength (140 to 170 kV/cm) and thermal conductivity (90 W/m.°C), and been joined to a copper (Cu) member to form a module substrate.
- AIN is inferior in wettability with brazing materials, so that it is difficult to obtain a sufficient joining strength even if the joining of an AIN member to a Cu member with the use of silver brazing materials is attempted.
- EP-A-0 135 603 (Ant. 54-3 document) describes a Ti-Ag-Cu brazing alloy for brazing Cu to A1 2 0 3 .
